Silicone vs. Non-Silicone

DOES SILICONE-BASED THERMAL GREASE GIVE YOU THE CREEPS?

AOS developed the first non-silicone thermal grease because silicone-based grease has the tendency to separate and migrate, potentially contaminating electronic packages. After several thermal cycles silicone compound can dry out, causing cracking and separation as in the picture shown here. As air gaps form components lose interface surface contact, resulting in a loss of thermal conduction. Non-Silicone Compounds stay put and in place for the full operational life of your hardware.
